Regulations aside, why did we become hams? If all you want is to collect QSO’s without being actually involved, why spend the time and money on education and equipment? Sorry, I vote against further animation of FT8 or any other protocol. Some automation is helpful, too be sure, but there is such a thing as too much.

Amateur Radio was supposed to be experimental. + The experiment could be conducted without making it easy for users to setup unattended 7x24 CQing and QSO completion. Think the FT8 "watering holes" are packed now? Wait until there are several thousand unattended stations around the world continuously CQing and attempting to work every callsign they haven't yet worked. _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
